- Screen Saver
-
- Version 2.00 For IBM-PC and compatables. Requires DOS 2.0 or later.
-
- This program is a memory resident module that shuts off video after a specified
- number of minutes when there is no output to the CRT, and no input from the
- keyboard. Pressing any key (even just the Shift or ALT key) will reset the time
- and restore the display. The delay time may be altered at any time without
- re-booting the machine.
-
- COMMAND FORMAT
-
- SCRNSAVE [nn]
-
- You may specify a number of minutes between 1 and 29 for a delay before screen
- blanking occurs. If you do not specify a time, the program defaults to 5
- minutes.
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- SCRNSAVE 8
-
- After 8 minutes of no activity, the screen will go black. any keypress or any
- screen write by the system will restore the screen. No data will be lost from
- the screen when it is blanked.
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- Simply copy SCRNSAVE.COM to your DOS backup diskette, or your hard disk. If
- you want to use a specific time period all the time, you can put the SCRNSAVE
- command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
-
- NOTES:
-
- 1) If you use a color graphics adapter, the BORDER color (usually already
- black) will not be blanked. This is due to the fact that the border color
- value is stored in a write only register, and if it were blanked there would
- be no way to restore it. Most applications do not use border color.
-
- I hope you find this useful. If you have comments, or I can answer a question
- for you, please write.
